About: I always grew up with family dogs, and leaned into caring for dogs when I left for college. I volunteered at a local private rescue in Oklahoma where I did my undergraduate degree, and have since been volunteering at the St. Joe County Humane Society since coming up here for grad school. I'm familiar and comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and genuinely enjoy being around any and all dogs! They make me happy! I am a graduate student, and therefore have a largely flexible schedule. Other than a few occasional meetings, I can largely work whenever you need me! Because of my current living situation, I cannot care for your pet in my own home. However, I have experience dogsitting in clients' homes and will treat your space with the utmost respect! I equally love going on walks or lazy days on the couch, so whichever your dog prefers I'm all in!
About: I worked as a pet-sitter in the Goshen area during college. I have experience with older dogs and multi-pet households. I’m happy to keep as close to your regular schedule as possible. I’ve just graduated from UND with my MFA and I am looking for a little extra income as I adjust to life post graduate school. My days are totally flexible and I am happy to work around your preferred schedule. I’ve accommodated picky eaters and older pets dealing with incontinence. No matter what the situation is, I’m ready to dive right in and make your pet feel as comfortable as possible.

“Angelica was great with my dog, she was on time and caring. Would definitely book again!”
About: I've spent over 15 years surrounded by animals I’ve loved and cared for—including a dog, a bird, and two cats. Beyond my own pets, I once took in a lost cat, rehabilitated her with patience and care, and reunited her with her grateful owner. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly—I think they can tell I genuinely enjoy their company! Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just being a calm presence, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm currently working full-time away from home and looking to fill weekdays after 5pm and anytime on the weekends with playful pets! I'm available Most weekdays and 2-3 weekends per month. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own, keeping things clean, secure, and just the way you left them. I’m attentive to your pet’s routines and boundaries, making sure playtime is fun but always safe. Whether it's double-checking doors, monitoring behavior, or sticking to feeding and walk schedules, you can count on me to provide loving care with a watchful eye.
About: I grew up with animals- my dad raised and bred dogs professionally, and my brother and I helped by taking care of puppies. We also had our house dog and I had cats. Since then, I have raised many dogs, cats, and bunnies. Currently my husband and I live by ourselves and travel a lot so we do not have our own pets, but I miss having animals around and would enjoy helping take care of others’ pets. We have a calm, clean, and happy home. We love animals so much, we are both vegan as well. Your pet will be in the best care! I work from home primarily, sometimes teaching yoga classes in the public space. I also do massage nearby occasionally. My husband is home most of the time as well. We care for pets just as we would our own. We walk regularly and live near a large park and river walk. We are very well organized, and have also taken care of our many children throughout our lives!
About: I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands when you’re away - I’ve spent my entire life caring for dogs, cats, and birds I work remotely for the most part so I'm flexible. I can work my other job at my pace and can ensure your fur baby has plenty of attention. My home has a fenced yard. I have a spare room if your animal like their space. I enjoy outside time if your animals likes walks.
“Shelby took great care of our two cats. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, played with them, and was all-around very conscientious. They were not fussy when I came home, so I know she made them feel taken care of while I was gone.”
“Isabelle took care of my two 14 y/o dogs for 7 days while I was away. She visited 3 times each day to feed/water/walk. I’m very particular about who I allow to watch my dogs due to their age but I was able to travel worry free thanks to Isabelle. Highly recommended.”
